Seems like the 24 team playoff is a matter of “when” and not “if”.

It won’t be a copy of the FCS system, unfortunately. Just the top 24 teams selected by the committee.

If the 24 team playoff had been around since, let’s say 2000, SJSU would’ve made it twice. Once in 2012 and again 2020. So hypothetically, the 24 team playoff gives us a realistic shot at making the playoffs.

However, I’m skeptical about the playoff committee itself. I’m sure under the current and old system, they wouldn’t mind ranking SJSU in the top 24. But with a playoff spot on the line, I could totally see them snubbing, let’s say, a 10 win SJSU team for an 8-4 SEC team “with no bad losses”. Especially if they follow through with removing conference championship games.

So, I have mixed feelings about it all. Again, it does give SJSU the best chance at making the playoffs, but its clear that the powers that be want a 24 team team playoff to benefit middle of the pack SEC and B1G schools, as opposed to top mid-major schools.

If only they pushed for an FCS style playoff. Would be perfect, in my opinion. You guys have any thoughts on it?

Apologies if this doesn’t belong here.

Important context: I’m an adult, I’m not being forced to play by my parents or anything. Can’t quit because my team is already low on players, and I don’t want to make it worse.

Don’t want to bore anyone with long explanations, so let’s just say, I’m stressed out before, during and after games. I’m a detriment to my team as an unreliable fielder and an automatic out. I’m only useful as a body, which our team desperately needs. I can’t enjoy myself after wins, and feel even worse after losses. No amount of practice has made me feel or play any better.

I still have 80% of a season to go, and again, I’m not in a position to quit. Can’t confide any of this to my family, friends or teammates, so I’m hoping someone here can offer any useful advice to get me through the season.

PS: I love watching baseball and used to love playing it too. This feeling has only been around since I started playing again 2 years ago.
